643. Me a firefighter!?




One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “I’m grateful to many teachers who offer online resources for teachers of English, free lesson plans, experiences in the classroom...



I see they’re enthused, enthusiastic with their profession. You can see it. Thousands of teachers from all the world round. And I see it’s not only to make money with the ads.



About these professionals, in Spain we say something which could be translated as Professional vocation: these teachers do have a professional vocation, a clear one quite often. Teachers do like treating people, teaching people knowledge and also practical conducting with that knowledge. They have that attitude, and a big tendency to help people. They’re professionals with a deep commitment (very commonly). They work for something else than money.



With passing time that original vocation or attitude develops and is loved more and more, with the everyday experience, by the teacher. The young are in their, in our hands... although firstly education is in their parents’ hands, which is not something the teacher can replace or substitute. And in teachers’ hands is as well the education of adult learners, if the case.



These professionals have this kind of attitude, like many firefighters have another different attitude, or professional vocation.” / Photo from: things4myspace com
